History

Credit One Bank began operations as a full-service bank under the name First National Bank of Marin (FNBM) in San Rafael, California, on July 30, 1984.[ citation needed ] FNBM maintained a wide range of products until 1995 when it began focusing primarily on two types of products, partially and fully secured credit cards.[ citation needed ] FNBM received a limited purpose designation from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), a bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury, in June 1996.[ citation needed ] Limited purpose banks offer only a narrow product line. The bank moved from San Rafael, California, to Las Vegas, Nevada, in November 1998.[ citation needed ] FNBM obtained its CEBA status in March 2005[ citation needed ] and subsequently changed its name to Credit One Bank, N.A. on February 1, 2006, debuting a new logo. The Credit One Bank logo and the Capital One logo both have an arcing "swoosh" above their names, leading to some confusion among consumers. Capital One adopted its blue and red logo in 2008. Capital One's subsequent $13 billion marketing campaign led to a large number of new customers for both itself and Credit One, some of whom were unaware that the two were different companies. [4]

In 2018, Credit One Bank moved its headquarters to a new facility. [4] [5] In 2021, the bank expanded its headquarters. [6]

In June 2022, a bankruptcy judge found Credit One Bank liable to roughly 288,000 credit card customers whose credit reports weren't corrected to reflect a filing of personal bankruptcy. [7]

Sponsorships

Credit One Bank started sponsoring Chip Ganassi Racing in 2016. In 2017, Jamie McMurray drove a Credit One Bank No. 1 car for four races. The next year, the bank changed its sponsorship to Kyle Larson, who drove a sponsored No. 42 car in eight Monster Energy Cup events and two NASCAR Xfinity Series events. After Target’s departure from NASCAR after 2017, Credit One Bank became Larson's primary sponsor for the No. 42 Chevrolet starting the following season. [8] Since 2016, Credit One Bank has been sponsoring the broadcast of the white flag lap of most NASCAR races. [9]

In 2017, Credit One Bank became a sponsor of the National Hockey League's Vegas Golden Knights in their inaugural season. [10]

In 2019, Credit One Bank became a founding partner with Minor League Baseball's Las Vegas Aviators, a Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics. [11] Credit One Bank is also a sponsor of the Las Vegas Raiders. [12]

Credit One Bank has sponsored the women's tennis Charleston Open since 2020, first with the special Credit One Bank Invitational that restarted tennis after the pandemic lockdowns . [13] [14] A year later, Credit One replaced Chinese automaker Geely as the full title sponsor of the Charleston Open in South Carolina in addition to attaining the stadium's naming rights. [15] It was named the official credit card of the Las Vegas Raiders that same year. [16]

The Las Vegas metropolitan area is home to many sports, most of which take place in the unincorporated communities around Las Vegas rather than in the city itself. Currently, the Las Vegas Valley has three major league professional teams: the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL), which began play in 2017 as the region's first major pro team, the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL) which began play in 2020 after relocating from Oakland, California, and the Las Vegas Aces of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB) plan to move to Las Vegas to play at a new ballpark which is estimated to be complete by 2028. When this relocation happens, Las Vegas will have progressed from being the largest market in the U.S. with no teams in the men's major professional leagues to being one of the smallest markets with at least three such teams within less than a decade. In addition, the National Basketball Association has publicly confirmed Las Vegas is being considered for an expansion franchise, which would potentially make Las Vegas by far the fastest market to progress from no teams in the Big Four leagues to having teams in all four leagues.

Benjamin W. Navarro is an American businessman, the founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Sherman Financial Group, LLC, which owns Credit One Bank.

The NASCAR operation of Chip Ganassi Racing was established in 1989 by Cuban-American businessman Felix Sabates. The team was known as SABCO Racing, formed after Sabates purchased an R&D team from Hendrick Motorsports. The team was renamed Team SABCO in 1996. In 2001, Ganassi bought 80% of the ownership interest in the then-two-car team to form Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates; the same year the team switched from Chevrolet to full-works Dodge and received a same partnership treatment as Penske Racing, Evernham Motorsports, Bill Davis Racing, Melling Racing and Petty Enterprises teams. In 2009, Ganassi partnered with Dale Earnhardt, Inc. owner Teresa Earnhardt to merge their NASCAR operations into Ganassi's shop and entered under the Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates banner, while returning to Chevrolet equipment. The NASCAR team dropped the Earnhardt name in 2014, and Ganassi revealed that Teresa was never truly involved with the team. Rob Kauffman, chairman of the Race Team Alliance, purchased a stake in the team in 2015. The NASCAR program has fielded full-time entries for notable drivers including Kyle Petty, Joe Nemechek, Sterling Marlin, Jimmy Spencer, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jamie McMurray, Kyle Larson, Kurt Busch, and Ross Chastain. After already having his name removed from the team previously, at the end of the 2019 season, Sabates announced his retirement as a co-owner from the team, taking effect after the 2020 season.
